genessia | Fourteenth Mission [Video/Action]

[Video]

[While she's out shopping, Erza sees the after-effects of the recent nightmare attack on the community, and she has a sudden burst of inspiration for how she can help. Wasting no time, she turns on her video feed, feeling more confident with facing people directly rather than writing her ideas down or typing them out.]

Given everything that's happened lately, I feel like a change of plan is in order. Lately, I've been sticking with battling simulations in Holoplaza, but it's not quite the same as sparring against actual people. I figure that, in case something like this happens again, [And odds are, it will.] we could all use practice defending ourselves against all sorts of weapons, powers, and abilities. No defense is impenetrable; even the strongest magical barrier is completely useless if someone can negate or ignore magic. What I'm trying to say is, if anyone wants to spar, I'm more than willing to.

Also, if anyone wants lessons in using any kind of melee weapon, I'm available. [She summons each type of weapon to float behind her as she mentions them, resulting in some odd looks from passers-by.] Swords, knives, axes, clubs, spears, staffs... You name it, and I have it or can at least provide some advice.

I'm mostly self-taught, so you'll need to go to someone who specializes in using a weapon for any detailed information, but I can at least give you a place to start. If something like this happens again, I don't want anyone to feel defenseless.

[Once she's finished her message to the general public, she sends a private message to her girlfriend. Seeing as she's still in public, she chooses her words carefully in case she's overheard.]

[Video - private to Mirajane]

Don't think I've forgotten about you, darling. I'm ready to spar wherever and whenever you want. ...though we should probably take this somewhere private, given what we talked about. It could get pretty... destructive. [With her armours being the main things that will probably be destroyed in this case.]

See you soon, honey bunny! You're going down!

[It was a rather mixed message, but given how much their former rivalry played a role in their love life, it suited the two of them quite well.]

[Action - Fayren]

[With that out of the way, she decides to go back to her original purpose for being out and about - shopping for flowers to spruce up the guild, now that spring has arrived. She doesn't want to leave it all up to Mirajane and Mavis. Unfortunately, she doesn't have much of a green thumb, but she refuses to let that stop her!

...even though she has no idea what she's looking for. She'll be back and forth between Fairy Haven and any flower or gardening stores in Fayren. Some times, she'll be analyzing the contents of the shelves closely, uncertain about what to get. Other times, she'll be gathering up supplies seemingly at random, figuring that they must have a need for most of it. Either way, she could probably use some advice.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I suppose I could use some help with combat.

[ Back in her world, her weapon had been her voice which had affected Vajra. She was certain those are not the kind of enemies she needs to fear here. ]

I warn you, you would be teaching an absolute beginner.

That's no problem at all - I'll be happy to help.

So what sort of weapon would you be interested in learning? I can also try hand-to-hand, if you'd prefer that.

Unfortunately, I do not have much confidence in fighting nor do I have much experience in physical combat.

However ... [ She had seen combat many times before. Her voice had been her weapon, but she could not see herself using that here. Not when the Vajra was not the enemy. ]

...I couldn't agree more. I've also been using the Holodeck'd to practice against opponents with a variety of powers, but perhaps sparring with a real person would prove more effective.

Do you have special powers?

Aside from what I've shown, just changing my armour to a variety of sets. Many of them are enchanted, so they make me faster, stronger, or more resistant to certain attacks. [She also has monstrous strength/durability, but she considers that to be pretty normal.]

That...sounds familiar. I think I remember Mirajane telling me about someone with that kind of armor. Would that be you?

SPARRING SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT WAY TO MAKE FRIENDS!

AND PREPARING FOR THE THING THAT HAPPENED YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

ALSO, DO YOU REALLY KNOW SOMETHING THAT CAN NEGATE MAGIC??? BECAUSE THAT COULD COME IN USEFUL IF I EVER GO BACK TO THE UNDERGROUND.

It's certainly effective, at least in my experience. [A lot of the friends made by people in her guild tended to be people that they had previously fought.]

When it comes to negating magic, I've only got one way on hand, though it takes a lot of magic to use. There are also handcuffs for that sort of thing.

THERE ARE?! DO YOU THINK I COULD BORROW THEM? WOULD THEY WORK ON SOMETHING THAT HAS NO HANDS?

BECAUSE THE BARRIER...PROBABLY DOESN'T HAVE THOSE.

BUT THAT'S IN THE FUTURE. FOR NOW, LET'S SPAR! WHERE SHOULD WE HANG OUT?

Good idea, Erza.

...Just make sure none of your students destroys the guild hall.
